Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) wants Sania Mirza to play tennis for Pakistan. The PTF Chief Dilawar Abbas has said that the Indian ace Sania Mirza should play tennis for Pakistan now. Sania had married Pakistan Cricketer Shoaib Malik.

Abbas has expressed his contentment on this marriage and has said that this has been great news for Pakistan tennis community. He has also anticipated that she would become a Pakistani national and play for them in future.

He has added that Sania is having a great future ahead and the Pakistan tennis community will welcome her if she decides to play for the country. He also said that Sania can be a role model for the girls in Pakistan. She can inspire them to become world class tennis players. He has even suggested her to pair up with Aisam-ul-Haq to play the mixed-doubles.

However, Sania has made it very clear from the beginning that she will continue playing for India even after her marriage to the Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. She is not going to play for Pakistan.
